WARNER ROBINS — A former probation officer has been indicted in the shooting death of his girlfriend in Houston County.

The Telegraph of Macon (http://bit.ly/gdfbxh ) reports that 28-year-old Russell Holt is accused of fatally shooting 27-year-old Jessica Wolfe, who worked as a legal assistant for the Houston County District Attorney's Office.

Holt was a probation officer for the Georgia Department of Corrections.
